u
Plug the charging base (15) into a standard electrical
outlet.
u
Lower the appliance onto the charging base. The charging
indicator LED (6) will illuminate.
u
When charging is complete, the LED will turn off.
While charging, the charger may become warm. This is
normal and does not indicate a problem.
Leaving the appliance connected to the charger indefinitely
will not damage the appliance’s batteries or shorten its run
time. The charger automatically reduces power consumption
when charging is complete.
Switching on and off (fig. E, F)
u
To switch the appliance on, slide the on/off switch (1) to
the right until it clicks into the on position.
u
To switch the appliance off, slide the on/off switch to the
left until it clicks into the off position.
Vacuuming
u
When operating the appliance, make sure the hose is not
trapped, twisted or blocked.
Two hose positions are available while vacuuming:
u
You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4)
wrapped around the main appliance. Cleaning in this
mode is great for quick pick-ups because the vac is in
it’s most compact form.
u
You can vacuum with the handle (2) and hose (4)
unwrapped from the main appliance allowing you to
reach up to approximately 1.2 m from the appliance.
u
With handle and hose unwrapped the appliance can be
carried using the built-in handle on the main appliance.
u
The handle can also be removed from the hose so that
you can connect an accessory directly to the hose cuff
(20) when desired.
Hints for optimum use
u
When vacuuming stairs, always start at the bottom and
work your way up.
u
Use the pet hair cleaning tool to agitate and suction up
pet hair and ground-in debris from carpeted or upholstery
surfaces.
u
In order to keep the suction force optimized, the filters
must be cleared regularly during use.
